Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Language University (KMCLU), formerly Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Urdu, Arabi-Farsi University (KMCUAFU) is a state university[1] based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Established in 2009, the University is named after Sufi saint Mu'in al-Din Chishti.

History[edit]

The university was established in 2009 as "Uttar Pradesh Arabi Pharsi University", under the Uttar Pradesh Arabi Pharsi University Act, 2009.[2] In 2010 the act was repealed and the university was reintroduced as "Uttar Pradesh Urdu, Arabi-Farsi University" under Uttar Pradesh State Universities (Amendment) Act, 2010.[3] It was renamed "Manyavar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji Urdu, Arabi-Farsi University" in 2011 under Uttar Pradesh State Universities (Amendment) Act, 2011, to honor the politician and social reformer Kanshi Ram.[3] About a year later it was renamed again "Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Urdu, Arabi-Farsi University" in 2012, under Uttar Pradesh State Universities (Amendment) Act, 2012, in honor of Sufi saint Mu'in al-Din Chishti.[3] In 2020, it was renamed a final time "Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Language University" under Uttar Pradesh State Universities (Amendment) Act, 2020.[4]

Anis Ansari was appointed the founder vice-chancellor (VC) of the university in April 2010.[5] Mahrukh Mirza was appointed VC in October 2017.[6] After vacating the position in October 2020, in January 2021, after all candidates for the VC position have been rejected, Vinay Kumar Pathak was appointed VC as an additional charge.[7] Anil Kumar Shukla was appointed VC in April 2021.[8]
